About

The filtering problems of RF front-ends are rapidly becoming so complex that very few companies can solve them. At Resonant, we have developed a fundamentally new suite of technologies we call Infinite Synthesized Networks®, or ISN®, to configure and connect acoustic resonators, which are the fundamental building blocks of RF filters.
